Summary: “I was certainly a fool,” Colin says. “I lived my formative years in the presence of my parents’ undeniable love. I knew my match with Marina did not compare, and still, I rendered her a proposal. It is quite astounding to consider now.”
“I am so sorry that your first love treated you with such cruelty,” Penelope says, cradling his fingers. “I am very grateful to be your second love, so that I may ensure you always feel loved in return.”
In the early days of their marriage, Colin and Penelope receive a congratulatory letter from Marina. It prompts some reflection on the girls he touched before his wife, and the women that have shaped his life.

This is a follow-up fic to Five Feet To Be Exact and picks up a few years after the epilogue. I don’t think you have to read the first one necessarily to follow along, but I’d definitely recommend it!

Summary: There's something new to Penelope these days. Something in her eyes, maybe, or her skin. A clarity; clarity built by love and light and a life built with the man she has loved since childhood.
There is a visible clarity caused by endless pleasure, the pleasure of partnership and partnering... and frankly, yes, Penelope can see it reflected back at her when she takes herself in at the looking glass.
She can see it in the double takes as she and Colin enter balls now.
But she can see it most in the way Colin's eyes shine over every time she enters a room. The way he swallows, the way he grips his chest sometimes as if the feeling is attempting escape.
And when it is particularly shocking to him, when she has really pleased him, in the way her husband drops to his knees.
As he does in this moment.
"You... are..." he shakes his head in incredulity as she approaches.
Is it the red? They never get to wear red.
AKA: Colin and Pen get to wear red because they are hosting a Christmas party, which inexplicably turns them on.
